This year, the opening of Hangzhou-Shaoxing Section of Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Ningbo Expressway promotes the traffic interconnection between Hangzhou and Ningbo, and brings benefits to the residents' life. 

The diversion effect of the new expressway is significant to alleviate the traffic pressure of the original Hangzhou-Ningbo Expressway.

The new expressway connects the airport and logistics port in Hangzhou, and helps local logistics enterprises improve logistics efficiency and reduce costs. 

It also provides convenience for commuting of people that travel across cities.

It's reported that Ningbo Section (Phase II) of New Hangzhou-Shaoxing-Ningbo Expressway is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. Then one-hour tour between Hangzhou and Ningbo becomes option by car.
